If the A350 wasn't around, the Boeing 777 would easily be my favorite! ✈️👑

B777 Seat Hacks:

💺 Look for 3-3-3 layouts for wider seats (avoid 3-4-3).

The Airbus A3neo: For when an airline only needs to transport 6 people but still wants the full A320 experience. 😂✈️

This Flight Sim mod is hilarious, but as cabin layout nerds here at Airplane Lore, we have to ask: what would the seat map even look like on this thing? 💺👇

Stop picking random airplane seats and choose strategically: the front for a fast exit, the exit row for extra legroom, the middle to minimize turbulence, the back for a chance at an empty row, and far from the washrooms for peace and quiet! ✈️💺
